The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it will once again be sending out free COVID-19 tests ahead of the winter season.

Government health officials announced the return of free tests, vaccines and treatments.

The antiviral drug Paxlovid will also be available for free for people who are uninsured or who are on Medicare or Medicaid.

Updated COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be in pharmacies within weeks.

The website COVID-19 Testing (hhs.gov) will be available next month where you can order free tests again.
